Product Details
The EVAL-LTM3360B-AZ features the LTM3360B, a 5V high-density buck power μModule® regulator. The high switching frequency of 2.5MHz permits integration of not only the input and output capacitors but also the power inductor, resulting in the highest density of output current-to-PC board footprint achievable in the industry today with minimal external components required. The LTM3360B has the highest output current-to-total solution footprint density at 1A/mm2. The constant-frequency valley current mode control offers an extremely small on-time of 11ns. The LTM3360B can support up to 12 phases in a multiphase parallel configuration. The LTM3360B is available in a 160-pin 6.55mm × 5mm × 3.31mm ball grid array (BGA) package with excellent thermal performance. Refer to the LTM3360B data sheet before using or making any hardware changes to the EVAL-LTM3360B-AZ evaluation board.
The EVAL-LTM3360B-AZ input voltage range is from 2.9V to 5.5V, with a default output voltage set at 0.5V. The output voltage is adjustable from 0.3V to 1V using the LTpowerPlay® graphical user interface (GUI) or by using an external voltage divider. The EVAL-LTM3360B-AZ operates in forced continuous mode (FCM) at 2.5MHz switching frequency (fSW).
The LTM3360B can also synchronize to an external clock using the SYNC input. An on-board transient circuit is included to demonstrate the fast transient performance. The LTM3360B data sheet gives a complete description of the device, its operation, and application information.
